Chapter 338: I didn’t catch the fox, but I got into trouble
Outside the palace gate.
The coachman looked at Duke Ningguo who had gotten off the sedan chair and ran over with a cry of "Ah".
He supported Duke Ning and shouted anxiously, "Duke, what's wrong with you?"
"Weren't you fine when you entered the palace?"
Duke Ningguo "forced himself to be strong" and whispered, "How disgraceful it is to yell and holler."
"This duchy is fine, except for a heart attack."
"What, a heart attack?"
"Oh, madam, please come and save the Duke!" the coachman howled again.
Xiao Shunzi: “….”
You, master and servant, are singing the same tune...what do you mean?
It's as if my master is doing something to the Duke.
Duke Ningguo took a few steps and suddenly thought of Xiao Shunzi behind him...
He turned around and said weakly, "Thank you, Master Shun."
Seeing this, Xiao Shunzi quickly bowed and said, "My Lord, I am sorry for the humiliation you have shown me."
"Goodbye, Duke!"
With the help of the coachman, the master and servant walked tremblingly towards the carriage.
The guards guarding the palace gate looked at Duke Ningguo's departing back with sympathetic eyes.
Alas, Duke Ningguo has become increasingly destitute since he lost his real power.
This prince is really awesome, why does he bully others...
After watching Duke Ningguo board his carriage, Xiao Shunzi said to the palace servants carrying the sedan chair, "Return to the palace!"
The moment he turned around, Xiao Shunzi noticed the strange looks from the guards guarding the palace gate.
He muttered to himself: Could this be the purpose of Duke Ningguo?
No, no, Duke Ningguo is not a scheming person.
Before entering the palace gate, Xiao Shunzi paused and said, with a hint of meaning, "Duke Ningguo was chatting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he suddenly had a heart attack, which really made His Royal Highness very nervous."
"Fortunately, Duke Ningguo brought life-saving medicine with him."
The guards had expressionless faces.
After Xiao Shunzi left, he spat quietly.
"Ahh! What is that?"
"What's there to explain? We're not blind."
.......
On the street.
The driver, sweating profusely, anxiously shouted to passersby on the street, "Please make way. My Duke is having a heart attack."
"Let's all make way..."
At this moment, Duke Ningguo was sitting in the carriage, leaning comfortably on the soft couch, his mouth smiling so much that it almost reached his ears.
Haha, I can’t let my trip be in vain.
The carriage rushed all the way back to the Duke's Mansion. The coachman glanced at the pedestrians on the street and acted according to the Duke of Ningguo's instructions.
The driver winked at the gatekeeper, then shouted, "Go and call the Madam! The Duke is having a heart attack."
The porter, receiving the driver's hint, began to howl at the top of his lungs.
"Didn't the Duke go to the palace to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why did he have a heart attack?"
"I don't know either. Go and call the Madam! The Duke is very weak!"
The pedestrians on the street pricked up their ears and gathered together quietly.
They had learned from the conversation between the coachman and the doorman that the Duke had suffered a heart attack because of his meeting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Duke Ningguo lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Why are you shouting? Don't make Madam worry."
The driver nodded and said tearfully, "Duke, I was wrong."
"Help the Duke get off the carriage." Duke Ningguo ordered weakly.
The driver wiped his tears and took down the horse stool and put it away.
Duke Ningguo adjusted his facial expression and walked out of the carriage tremblingly.
The coachman was about to raise his hand to support Duke Ningguo, but the Duke rolled his eyes and fell off the carriage.
This is incredible.
The coachman knelt beside Duke Ningguo and cried heart-wrenchingly.
"My Lord, please don't scare me!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Someone come quickly, the Duke has fainted."
The onlookers did not stand idly by and helped to help Duke Ningguo up.
The Duke's wife listened to the noise outside the mansion and quickly calmed down.
She ran out crying, supported by her maid Xiaoyue, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
"Why did you have a heart attack?"
"Hurry up and call the court doctor..."
Everyone helped Duke Ningguo into the mansion.
Xiaoyue supported the Duke's wife and followed hurriedly behind.
After helping Duke Ning into his bedroom, everyone consoled him, saying, "Don't worry, Madam Duke. The Duke simply fainted."
"But we can't be careless. Let the doctor take a look right away."
The Duke's wife wiped her tears and said gratefully, "Thank you all for today."
"Hey, we're all neighbors, why are you being so polite, Madam?"
"Please take good care of the Duke, we will leave first."
The Duke's wife nodded and told Xiaoyue beside her, "Xiaoyue, go see off the neighbors."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Everyone, please."
A group of people left the Duke's Mansion in a hurry.
After the neighbors' "gossip", the news that Duke Ningguo suffered a heart attack after entering the palace and fainted in front of his own door quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The news soon reached the palace.
Xiao Mocheng sat at the table and said bitterly, "I didn't catch the fox, but I got into trouble."
Xiao Shunzi stood aside, not daring to breathe.
Duke Ningguo, this move of yours is too mean!
My prince has no grudges against you in the past or in the present, so why do you want to ruin his reputation like this?
Xiao Mocheng rubbed his slightly aching brow and said tiredly, "Xiao Shunzi, prepare some gifts and go to the Duke's Mansion."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Shunzi left the imperial study and thought indignantly: Duke Ningguo, you are so ungrateful.
Look at what my prince has become.
Xiao Shunzi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He took a few palace maids, picked up the gift box, and went to the Duke's Mansion in a grand manner.
At the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
"We are here to visit Duke Ningguo on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Please go in and inform him." Xiao Shunzi said unhappily with a gloomy face.
The doorman said slowly, "My wife and the prince are taking care of the Duke. Please follow me in!"
At this moment, Duke Ningguo was lying sick on the bed.
After Ning Jinghuai received the hint from Xiaoyue outside the door, he quickly picked up a bowl of medicine on the table and went to the bedside.
The Duke's wife sat by the bed, wiping her tears.
After Xiao Shunzi and others entered the yard, Ning Jinghuai picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of medicine and brought it to the lips of Duke Ning.
"Dad, please drink slowly."
"Son, I promise I will never make you angry again."
The moment the doorman entered the room, he couldn't help but sigh: What a picture of a loving father and a filial son.
It's so touching.
"My Lord, Eunuch Shun is here to visit you."
Upon hearing this, Duke Ningguo struggled to get up, "Hurry, hurry and help me up, I'm fine."
Ning Jinghuai held Duke Ning down and said with a worried look on his face, "Father, the court doctor said you need to lie down and rest."
"Don't get excited."
Xiao Shunzi asked a few palace servants to put the gifts on the table and walked forward with a smile on his face.
"My Lord, just lie down."
"We are here to visit you on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The Duke's wife stood up and wiped her tears, "Please sit down, Eunuch Shun."
Then, the Duke's wife told Xiaoyue, who was standing outside the door, "Xiaoyue, serve tea."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xiao Shunzi didn't want to stay any longer, so he took over the conversation and said, "Duke, you should take good care of yourself. I will return to the palace to report."
Duke Ningguo said to Ning Jinghuai, "Go and see Eunuch Shun off."
"Okay, son, obey your command." Ning Jinghuai stood up and put down the porcelain bowl in his hand.
"Eunuch Shun, please!"
Xiao Shunzi bowed and turned to leave.
After Ning Jinghuai left the yard, he immediately put on a nonchalant look and started humming a little tune.
Xiao Shunzi looked at Ning Jinghuai quietly and complained inwardly: With such a troublesome son, it would be strange if he didn't have a heart disease.
"Prince Ning, you don't need to send me home. Go back and take care of the Duke!"
Ning Jinghuai stopped immediately after hearing this.
"Goodbye, Eunuch Shun!" There was a hint of arrogance in his tone.
Xiao Shunzi: “….”
Such arrogance and rudeness will get you punished sooner or later.
The moment Xiao Shunzi turned around, he frowned and left the Duke's Mansion with the palace maids.
Ning Jinghuai looked at the people who left in a hurry and raised his eyebrows.
He hummed a little tune and returned to the room.
Duke Ningguo, lying on the bed, looked weak and held his wife's hand against his chest.
“Ouch…”
"Ma'am, my heart aches."
The Duke's wife: "......"
This is addictive pretending.
Ning Jinghuai walked in and saw this scene, and quickly covered his eyes.
"Everyone has left, stop pretending." After saying that, he ran away.
The next moment, Duke Ningguo roared, "Get out, you unfilial son."
He's such a grown-up, but he has no sense at all.
You deserve to never get a wife.
